Dear Ludmila
It is great to see that the people of Novosibirsk really love their Polar Bears.
I hope that Rostik will get a new home before the Summer, but Gerda and Kai
should be okay in their water pool.
The videos are very good. I have downloaded them.

The keepers and the visitors certainly made the International Polar Bear Day very special for Gerda, Kai and Rostik.

Gerda and Kai even got water in their pool. Brrrr, I was freezing watching the videos but I’m sure our white friends loved it! I’m glad to know Rostik has water all the time. It makes his little enclosure a bit better even during the Winter.

Despite the extremely cold weather there were many visitors celebrating polar bears. Chapeau!!! They really love their arctic friends. I find it touching that the kids had prepared gifts to Gerda, Kai and Rostik. I’m sure this kind of ‘education’ will make them love animals and care about them – in the wild and in the zoos.

If I’m not misstaken the photos and the videos are by Natalia Romanova. They are wonderful!
